1-bit Ninja is a minimalist platformer designed to both honor the classic roots of old-school platformers while also adding unique discovery abilities thanks to the 2D/3D hybrid engine, all made easily playable thanks to optimized touchscreen controls. By giving the player just 2 buttons, the need for inaccurate on-screen controls disappears -- your left thumb is button A and your right thumb is button B. With this control scheme in mind, levels can be designed that not only work within the restrictions but take advantage of them. Level elements such as springs and moving platforms can be used to redirect the player creating alternative routes and subtle puzzles all in the while keeping the essential parts of the genre - exploration and precise jumping. The 3D element provides two advantages to gameplay: enabling the player to see further into the distance allowing them to decide their next move, and revealing hidden paths that can't be seen in the 2D view.
